My final year project is title about JAVA game,i have find some information about it,but i so confuse and dont now how to start it,can every body give me some information about JAVA game for me this beginer? thanks

limcheeguan, Chet Hasse (who works on Java 2D) has just written two good articles about getting started with writing games in Java.The articles essentially explain how to write a Pong clone in Java and most of the basic issues involved.

I suggest you start by reading those, reading the code (I assume you know Java already?), start writing some code and then come back here when you've got some problems.People will be much more willing to give you some help if you show you have put in some effort before asking for help.

I hope you know how to program.Otherwise you'll probably need about 18 months to do your assignment.

so how i start?i need learn java language again?which part i need to learn?is it swing or awt?

If you have an assignment to write a Java game and you nothing about Java, I think you really should be asking your teacher/lecturer what resources they can point you to in order to complete your assignment. I can't imagine somebody giving out a "write a game" assignment without giving lessons/lectures on how to actually go about it!?

i just left 2 months to finish it, my lecturer have no any rules for me,i no need do a advance game,my planing is do a small shotting game, but she say hope me don't use the applet, she hope me use the thread, can anybody tell me what shold i do?

i just left 2 months to finish it...can anybody tell me what shold i do?

1. Pray.Two months to learn Java and write a game is VERY little time.I will be surprised if you can do it.(I would be surprised if I could do it!)

2. Ask your lecturer if she will accept a game that prints 'Hello World' to the screen.When she says no, repeat step 1.

3. Download a good Java editorMost people would recommend IntelliJ, Eclipse or NetBeans. I like IntelliJ.

4. Do an 'introduction to Java' tutorial.There are links to two of these above.

5. Read some of the game-related tutorials above.I would suggest the Ping articles (sys-con.com) and then the Space Invaders 101 articles.

6. Type in some of the code from the articles and get it working.Type it in, don't copy it - only entering it yourself will let you figure out what's going on.

7. Start your own game.It will be easier to refactor the code you have typed in from the tutorial than starting from scratch again.

8. Spend about 18 hours a day on it (with two 1 hour breaks) until it is finished.I seriously think it will take you this much time to learn Java and then write a game in two months.

9. Use Google.It will get back to you with an answer much quicker than anyone on this forum.

10. If you really get stuck, come back here and ask questions when you run into problems.We cannot help you any more until you've actually learnt something and started writing a game.Make sure you don't ask general Java questions (i.e. not related to games programming) on this site.These should instead go on http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspaYou will probably find the answers to most questions you will have are already there.

May i know what javga game is the most easy to do?i mean is for beginner,is it Tetris or game like snake?look like i really haven no time to do it,so i hope to do a most easy java game,can anybody tell me?

Okay, heres Java game programming in a nutshell. This is an article from programmers heaven which is very useful and you should be able to learn it in about a week, or if you have a lot of time maybe 3 or 4 days.

He builds you up to making battleship. Theres' 3 tutorials, I've read the first two for you and they are very relaxed and not too heavy.

Now read ALL of this and come back with a status report or any questions.

AND will you post some of your research or code that you have written, so we can get an idea as to what you are doing, saying i don't know what to do isn't helping anyone and what i have given you the link to should help you out a lot!

NOW get reading/coding

Hauk

AND post something solid!

I want to become a hermit and live in the harsh wastelands of Norway. I want to have a cloak made of bearskin and hunt the demons of the night.

I was born for a reason and am not about to lie down and die like the rest of you. Anybody with me?

Pong is pretty easy for starters. I used it to learn java. Only took me a couple of days. But then I knew the concepts behind 2d graphics, and how to program in other languages.

Collision is pretty simple. Don't even need to load a pic. I think I did though. I don't remember. Figuring out how to get a mouselistener to work was the biggest obstacle if I remember correctly.

I wrote game in five days. So it's not too hard if you know what are you doing. Have you read book, ever? It's pretty strange, thread not applet. I would understand it if it would be application not applet, or even use multiple threads.

I remmember I had 2 days to learn all what other students could in a year. Nice D or C was a result.

I'm kind of curious too, but since the guy only made 6 posts (which I guess are all to this topic), I'm guessing that he never finished it.

It took me longer than 4 months to master the basics of Java games. Basically, I was trying to figure out everything on my own. Once I bought Developing Games in Java by David Brackeen, everything became clear. There were some things that I had kind of screwed up before that.
